6 NES games and 3 "unreleased" games for $25. I asked, found out that they had a buddy that used to work for Nintendo and had given them some old games that "mostly work". I immediately left to pick it up (at 10:30 last night no less). Come to find out that the 3 unreleased games were honest to god protos and one of the 6 games was also a proto as well. Also, even though I don't really collect screw variants, most of the games were 5 screws of games that I already own 3 screws. The games themselves are some of the nicest non-boxed games I've ever seen.
Included for $25:
Zelda - 5 screw
Metroid - 5 screw
Ghosts 'n Goblins
Gradius - 5 screw
SMB - 5 screw (same as one I have but nicer)
The protos turned out to be:
Super Mario Bros 3
Strider
Final Fantasy (only checked it briefly but it seems to be half finished and the characters are SERIOUSLY buffed)
Also, the Ninja Gaiden felt too heavy and the cover was photocopied. I unscrewed it and found, yep, you guessed it... a proto for Ninja Gaiden!
YES!!!
